Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shillingford
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Shillingford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Landlord and trade work in Shillingford
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
Do you come to Shillingford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shillingford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
